Hi all i need help quickly for my mate who has just bought a 2000 V galaxy. he was bringing it home after parting with

Hi dont konw what you class as low mileage but i have my gal on ebay quite a rare model by all accounts? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280534753410&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT take a look mark

Hi here is my problem, two weeks ago i lost all gears apart from 3rd and 4th i found the linkage on the selector had come off its socket so struggled and got it back on but it keeps comming off is there any way of fixing this other than buying a new selector cable (

hi all just got my vag com lead today so been having a look, cleared all fault codes only one keeps coming back is a/c pressure switch? (advise on replacement welcome) the other thing is the maf reading! standard says 295.7 but actual is 478.2 at idle. what i need to know is, is this ok or is there something wrong?? cheers mark

hi been reading a few of the recent posts and need a bit more help? with ref to the post (5th gear/turbo problem) i have removed the under cover, air intake pipe to the turbo to check the vanes and they seem to be moving ok (do stick somtime) but the question i need answering is about the wastgate actuator? when you say does it feel sticky, should it move by hand? i have took the vacum pipe of and tried blowing/sucking (gone dizzy a few times but nothing moves) also tried moving the arm but have to use a large screwdriver and even then it needs alot of force to move it? should it move alot more freely than that?? if anyone could give any good advise i will be under the car for the next hour or so and maybe someone could talk me through a few things my number is 077********* and i will ring you back (save anyone credit or min's) kind regards mark DO THIS THROUGH THE SAFETY OF THE PM AREA.

sound like a similar problem to mine, no pick-up and wont go over 80'ish just put new injector nozzles in (.216) but still no differance. going to check turbo actuator tomorrow, does anyone know how to remove the turbo and give it good clean?? cheers mark

hi, right the nice shiny new nozzles arrived this morning so spent the day cleaning everything and fitting the nozzles, followed the instructions i got with them,and yes the car starts and drives. BUT these make no differance what so ever!! its just the same, no pick-up and slow as a snail i have checked for fuel/air leaks but everything is fine. Have i eveything correct or do i need to get it re-mapped?? or have i wasted

hi i am looking at buying a new set of injector nozzles (.216), i see quite a few have used the .205 ones? would anyone recommend the 151 BHP beasts as i would be putting them in my 97 1.9tdi 90 BHP and would like to know if its ok or will my engine just go BANG!!! cheers mark

sorry no pics (dont want to scare the s**t out of you all LOL). mine is also the 90ps version. when i put my foot down it takes ages to get upto 70 and stops at 90 (wont go no more) and it hates going up hill, it has had a brand new maf fitted and the egr has been blanked off. i just expected better from it (suppose im comparing it to my mondeo tdci 130). i have been looking at changing the injector nozzles to some .216 would anyone reccomend this or will it go BANG?

cheers kev. i noticed you have a 98 1.9tdi ghia x, mine is a 97 1.9tdi ghia x and is the slowest thing i have driven (my mams 93 1.0l automatic nissan micra is faster LOL) is it just mine or are they all the same? also the mpg is bad average 24 around town :( mark

does any know if a decat pipe will make any differance to performance/mpg and where is the best place to get one from (or can i just remove my one and smash out the inners and put it back on)? cheers mark

thanks but checked this and it seems fine (the ecu is behind the clocks) it seems to happen at arround 50mph and when trying to accelarate? could it be anything to do with the intercooler pipes?? also could it be a leak from the inlet manifold?? mark

hi my 1.9tdi gal is making a sucking noise from the passanger side dash when driving at arround 2-2500rpm i have replaced the vaccum pipes that go to the turbo and egr but it still does it also i have no pick up at all? any ideas? cheers mark

tightened pump and now works great. many thands for all your help. mark

how do i check the belt as i cant see the pump?? would you reccomened if i changed the fluid? mark

just had a good luck and NO alarm, only two plugs on the box and the plug under the bonnet is blanked off. I thought the top of the range ghia x would atleast have an alarm? (my old 1992 escort lx even had an alarm). Any advise on an after market one that can link into the cars system? mark

how can i tell if my 1997 (P) 1.9tdi ghia x has the dredded duel mass flywheel :) or a solid one ;) thanks mark

do the 1997 ghia x galaxys have an alarm and if so how do you know it works? the led flashes but no indicators and siren? also there are no sensors it the car? cheers mark

after more searching i have now found that the multiplug going into the control unit (the one with lots of wires) has got corrosion so i removed the wire cover and there 3 broken wires so maybe this could be the fault? is anyone on here breaking one and willing to cut bothe the plugs of for me ;) mark

Hi this has probably been covered on this site but cant get a good answer. i have just bought a 1997 1.9tdi 90bhp ghia x with 92,000 miles on the clock, i drove this home on saturday at a very steady 70mph all motorway's (210 mile trip) though it was very sluggish and returned an overall 41.4mpg and i want to know if this is normal ( as i feel its poor!) on sunday i took it for a small 40 mile trip localy round the shops and got 21.8mpg (my mondeo gets 40+ round town) please share any views on the matter and anything i could do to get it better? as looking at this i think i may keep my mondeo tdci kind regards mark

Thanks but tried everything and still nothing could the main unit be broken and is there anyway to test this? Mark

checked that everything works fine from both doors even the total closure of the windows but tried everything to get the remote to work :(

hi my remote locking is not working i have replaced batteries tried the programming on this site, in the hand book and from the ford tis disc but cant get the led to light even though it lights for a few seconds when the ignition is turned on? there is an output from the fob as checked with phone camera can anyone please help?? mark

Update cenrtal locking and interior lights now working fine but only from the doors not remote? followed instructions to reprogram the key but cant get the control light to come on even changed the batteries in the fob but still nothing. any one have any ideas?? also think i have sorted the glowplug light but now have a nother big problem (see my other post on steering rack)mark
